\section{Project summary}\label{sec:projectSummary}
The result of this project is a fully functional web shop of the company GreenGadget Inc. which can be viewed on \textbf{http://shop.greengadget.biz}. The purpose of this workshop was to gain experience in managing a project. Therefore the team members where assigned to different roles within the team. Those team roles where \textit{Project Manager}, \textit{Technical Manager}, \textit{Quality Manager} and \textit{Documentation Manager}. The personal statements of each team member are stated in the following.

As a overall statement it can be said that the project was a full success. All in the beginning defined goals had been met without any major issues. The build web shop offers all the functionality of current comparable on-line shops.


\section{Conclusion of Tobias Langjahr}\label{sec:conclusionTobiLangjahr}
For this workshop, i had the role as the project manager. This role included a lot of tasks related to project management such as project planning and organization. This role also put me in charge of leading a team through the project which enclosed a lot of communication. It was a great experience to lead a team through a whole project. In my opinion the project manager role has to be chosen carefully to provide a optimal project base. I think team green did a awesome job working together and every team member was equally involved in the project development process.

\noindent
As an overall evaluation of the project's outcome, it can be said that this type of workshop is an ideal way to introduce students to the tasks of project management because it has a realistic relation to real world projects. I think the exercise of developing a web shop is adequate since those web shop CMS systems offer the possibility to create a running shop very quickly. Therefore the teams can mainly focus on the project management part without worrying about the implementation.

\section{Conclusion of Tobias Lauffer}\label{sec:conclusionTobiLauffer}
The lesson of Project management was e very interesting project. It shows us how an effective management can lead to a structured and fail-safe approach during the different project phases. Everyone knew what to do and in potentially risk cases the further process was regulated. 

From technical point of view I was very happy to find the Oxid shop system, which is a very comfortable web shop framework with a very fresh look and feel. Also the administration of the whole system like product maintenance proves a high usability and can be served by people with simple knowledge of a browser. 

In my role as project analyst and test manager I profited at some phases from earlier knowledge of methodical proceeding in requirements engineering with UML. So a possible framework with Enterprise Architect and some experience was given in an early phase of the project. So my job was to find and record requirements, use cases and test cases.

I was very happy with the team and their different knowledge about all these issues where I did not have had the opportunity to make experience. So e.g. Michael Ries made all the technical things concerning the web server and installation, Tobias Langjahr had deep knowledge about different tools for project planning and J\"org miller was a never ending source of great ideas (like the shop issue). So I also want take the opportunity to say thank you to you all, especially your motivation and energy to pass this project in a great manner.

\section{Conclusion of J\"org Miller}\label{sec:conclusionJoerg}
In my role as the documentation manager, a main part of my work was of course making sure that all decisions made during the project were written down in an appropriate manner. During the planning phase this was often done by simply taking notes which would later have been transferred to the assignment document. However, in a group of four persons I could not only focus on documentation and I therefore tried to contribute to the project by assisting team members in their tasks when needed. 

In my opinion this workshop showed that good project management is crucial to the success of a project. Careful planning needs to be done to ensure the project will be in time and in budget. It was also interesting to take a look at the other side, as I usually work in projects from a developer point of view. 

As a conclusion it can be said, that we achieved an efficient way of distributing workloads and we were able to minimize idle times among group members. Although we were able to set up a system that produced correct results in rather short time, it took us some more time and effort to develop a well-designed system that met all of our requirements. Nevertheless, the good team work in the group made it possible to deliver a satisfying result.

\section{Conclusion of Michael Ries}\label{sec:conclusionMicha}
My role was the technical manager being responsible for the evaluation of a webshop, development and administration. After defining the requirements for the shop system possible web shop systems had to be evaluated. Our choice was the Oxid eShop since it fulfilled our needs best. Now, after having completed the project, I have to say that it was definitly the right choice. Every requirement could be fulfilled in a comfortable way using either the backend interface or by adapting the templates. We had no problems encountering any bugs. This way the shop was set up fast and the focus was on adapting the design and managing the products. The shop itself was installed on a dedicated root server since I already had a working server infrastructure which could be used.

The team did a great job working together to make the project a success. It was a very interesting task and everyone fulfilled his role. Personally I can recommend the Oxid eShop system for similar tasks. It is powerful and flexible and helped speeding up the development process.
